Description

Micro lacks shell completions.
When writing micro <space> <tab> command line options not being suggested.

I will write completions for ZSH, and possibly for Bash as well.
If someone is using Fish, Dash, or other shells and willing to write completions it would be great!

Research direction

Start by examining Micro's command-line options and how shell completion scripts are organized for ZSH, Bash, and Fish. Add completion support for the requested invocation arguments and verify that micro <space><tab> suggests the available command-line options in each supported shell.
